Indeed - what do we mean by Enlightenment?
Kant wrote in 1784 in the first part of his essay:
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one understanding without guidance from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but rather of resolve and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere Aude! [Latin translated: Dare to know, from Horace]. Have courage to use your own mind! Thus is the motto of Enlightenment."
Translation from German to English (August 2013) by Daniel Fidel Ferrer.
